<![CDATA[[Duplicated]Opera GX is using too much memory]]>So just now I noticed Opera was using nearly 3 gigs of memory. Looked for some answers and did the Ram Limiter and looked through the browser task manager. Only thing is I have no idea how to interpret any of it.

  • Is there any documentation on how to look up certain process IDs?
  • What tasks are essential?
  • Some tasks are labeled as extensions, but I never added them as extensions (Twitch, Aria, Cashback Assistant). What's that about?
  • Some things I think I have disabled (Aria) but are still showing up as a task, Why?

Windows Task Manager

thought I could tack it on after submitting, if its necessary I'll add it in a reply (link)

No way to turn them off? Pretty sure I've never used them to date.

The feature still exists.

Browsers use extensions to add features and functionalities.
